Abstract: A slurry delivery system for use with a polishing machine wherein the slurry delivery system is designed to reduce the incidence of oxidized metals or rust from flowing into a slurry compound used to polish substrates used in the manufacture of disk drives. The slurry delivery system comprises an extended drive shaft made from type 416 stainless steel having a longitudinally extending inner channel Inside of this inner channel is a type 316 slurry feed tube that is used to shield the type 416 stainless steel from a slurry containing corrosive de-ionized water. The drive shaft has a first end connected to a drive motor and a second distal end. Connected to the second distal end is a type 316 stainless steel hub. The hub is surrounded by a urethane slurry distribution plate that has channels cut for allowing slurry to flow.

Abstract: An elongated central shaft is provided at one end with a hook for supporting thereon a hanger for a garment contained thereon. The other end of the central elongated shaft is connected to a mounting element which mounts the arrangement on an apparatus for bagging garments. The elongated shaft has mounted thereabout a spreader unit which is hinged at its ends thereof so that, as a bag is pulled down from an apparatus for bagging garments, the spreader unit positioned about the central elongated shaft will cause the leading end of the bag to open up and thereby avoid contact with the hook and the central elongated shaft.

Abstract: A bagging device is provided with a floor supported device having a roll of polyethylene bags thereon, which are fed through a braking device and thence a round spreading devices and a floating hook support, whereupon is engaged sequentially the hooks of hangers upon which garments or the like are supported. The bags are provided with indicia thereupon which are detected by a detecting device to actuate the braking device so that the bags may be readily torn off before they seat on the respective garments being packaged. Provision is made for adjustments of the braking time so that the brake automatically releases after a fixed period of time thereby facilitating a drawing of the bags from the source for sequential bagging operations.
